Words and Motions for Chalice Lighting
By Patty Collins

We come together
(Bring hands together and clasp them in front of you.)
To remind ourselves
(Touch your index and middle fingers to your temple.)
To treat all people kindly
(Spread arms wide, encircling.)
Because they are our brothers and sisters,
(Fold your arms across your chest, in a hug.)
To take good care of the earth,
(Raise your arms above your head, in a circle.)
Because it is our home,
(Fold your arms, holding your elbows, and motion as though rocking a baby.)
To live lives full of goodness and love,
(Put both hands over your heart.)
Because that is how we will make our world
(Raise your arms above your head, in a circle.)
The best place it can be.
(Clap your hands quietly.)
